Are you ready to learn compiler design and compiler development and prove your a master programmer?

Learn to create your very own C compiler from scratch. In this course we develop a compiler that compiles a subset of the C Programming Language. By the time you finish all modules of this course you will be able to compile C programs that use pointers, structures, unions, arrays, functions, for loops, while loops. do while loops, if statements, switches and much more!

Our compiler also has a preprocessor macro system allowing you to include header files and create definitions just like you would in any C file.

Your compiler is advanced enough to use the GCC standard library so we are able to call C functions from our compiler. Your compiler will be able to compile the C programming language.

This course does not rely on any frameworks we do everything from scratch to ensure the best possible learning experience for students

Module 1

In module 1 of this course we load our C source file that we wish to compile, into memory. We create a lexer to preform lexical analysis on the source input which will convert the source code into a bunch of tokens that our compiler can easily understand. We then pass the tokens through a parser to produce an abstract syntax tree. An AST describes the C program in a logical way that makes it easier for our compiler to understand. For example for the expression 50 + 20 you will end up with a root expression node that has a left operand that has a node of value 50 and a right operand that has a node of value 20. Breaking down problems in this way makes it much easier to create compilers.

Throughout the whole course series you will learn to create a fully functioning C compiler.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
